PREPARATION OF CHIRAL TITANOCENES
RELATED APPLICATION

This application is a continuation of United States
application 08/885,805 filed 30 June, 1997 (corresponding
to U.S. Patent No. 5,847,176), and also a continuation-
in-part of United States Blankenship application
PCT/US96/18666 filed 22 November 1996 (corresponding to

PCT Publication WO98/22476).

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to the preparation of chiral
titanocenes. More particularly, the invention relates to
dialkylsilyl (2-alkyl-4-arylindenyl) metallocenes.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

U.S. patent 5,629,254 at column 29, line 5, et.
sec., describes compounds of the Formula Ia:

xl x2
\ /
Rb M Rb
Ra Ra

Y

Ia


CA 02246417 2007-02-12
-2-

in which Ra may be a 1 to 20 carbon atom hydrocarbon
group,

Rb may be a 6 to 16 carbon atom aryl group, M may be
titanium, zirconium or hafnium, Xl and X2 may be a halogen
atom and Yl may be a divalent-silicon containing group.

The patent lista several examples of the Formula Ia
compound. One such example is rac-dimethylsilyl-bis [1-
(2-methyl-4-phenyl-indenyl)] zirconium dichloride (Col.
30, 11. 32-33). The patent states that

There may also be used the transition metal
compounds obtained by substituting titanium metal or
hafnium metal...for 7-irconium metal in the above-
exemplified compounds. [Col. 32, 11. 5-9]

It appears that the sole reference to a method which
may be useful for preparing the Formula Ia compounds is
found at column 13, lines 21-25 of U.S. Patent 5,629,254
issued May 13, 1997, which states:

The transition metal compounds according to the
present invention can be prepared in accordance with
the methods described in Journal of Organometallic
Chem. 288 (1985), pages 63 to 67, European Patent
Publication NO. 0,320,762 specification and Examples
thereof....

Neither reference specifically exemplifies the
synthesis of any titanocene. Nor does any working example
of U.S. Patent 5,629,254 do so.

sUmm OF THE IN=ION
This invention provides a method for preparing the
titanacene compounds of Formula Ia.
in a first step, a 2-alkyl-4-aryl indene is
converted to a dialkali metal salt, preferalaly a
dilitlzium salt.
The dialkali metal salt is then reacted in a
second step with a dihalodialkyl silane to produce a
bis-indenyl compound of Formula II:

in which R' and Rb are as described with respect to
Foxmula Ia and in which R is a one to ten carbon atom
alkyl group.
In a third step, the Formula 11 compound is
20 combined with a titanium trichloride (TiC13) containing
mixture formed by reacting_,titanium tetrachloride
(TiC14 ) with an alkali metal alkyl compound, wherein a
metallocene ligand is produced in which titanium is
present in a plus three oxidation state. The titanium

R / R
According to an aspect of the present invention,
there is provided a method for preparing a dialkylailyl
bis (2-alkyl-4-arylindenyl) titanium dichloxide which
comprises:

(i) reacting a 2-alkyl-9-arylindene with a tiret
alkali metal alkyl and a dihalodialkyl silane to
provide a first reaction mixture in a first reaction

vessel;

(ii) separately reacting in a second reaction vessel
titanium tetrachloride and a second alkali metal
alkyl which may be the same as or different from
said first alkali metal alkyl to provide a second
reaction mixture;

(iii) combining said first and aecond reaction
mixtures to produce a ligand of said dialkylsilyl
bis (2-alkyl-4-arylindenyl) titanium dichloride in
which titanium is present in a plus three oxidation
state; and

in which Rs and Rb are as previously described and which
is reacted in a first reaction vessel with an alkali

which R is a straight or branched chain 2 to 10 carbon
atom alkyl group and M is sodium, potassium or,
preferably, lithium to provide a first reaction mixture
which contains a dialkali metal salt of the Formula II
compound. The reactants are combined in substantially
stoichiometric amounts in a non-interfering, preferably
hydrocarbon, medium.

Useful hydrocarbon media include aliphatic or
aromatic hydrocarbons such as hexane, heptane,
cyclohexane, benzene, toluene and xylene. Toluene is
preferred.

In a second step, titanium tetrachloride in a
second reaction vessel is reacted as in the first step
in a non-interfering, preferably hydrocarbon medium as
in the first step with an alkali metal alkyl compound
RM to produce a second reaction mixture containing
titanium trichloride.
The titanium trichloride containing mixtures are
produced by the preferably stoichiometric (1:1)
reaction of an organometallic compounds, such as r~-
butyl lithium or n-butyl magnesium chloride, with
titanium tetrachloride in the non-interfering solvent
medium. These mixtures.are used directly without
isolation of the titanium trichloride.
In a third step the first and second reaction
mixtures are combined, for example, in the second

reaction vessel for reaction to produce a titanocene
catalyst ligand in which titanium is ptesent in a plus
three oxidation state. An oxidizing agent, e.g.,
cuprous chloride or chloroform, is added with agitation
to produce a third reaction mixture in which the
desired titanocene of FormuZa ZIY is present as a
-mixture of rac solid and meso isomers.
The isomer mixture is separated from the reaction
mixture and dried. The dry mixture of rac and meso
isomers is resolved, for example, by treatment with a
selective solvent preferably for the Mes isomer to
provide the X= isomer in substantially pure form. The
isomer mixture may also be resolved by the method
described in Gately, U.S. application 08/871,662 (corresponding to U.S.
Patent No. 5,866,706) and Separation of Rac and eso Compound Mixtures"
filed June 9, 1997.

added maintaining the temperature below 25 C, for'
example, 0 C to 20 C. TFiF (100 g) were added. The
reaction mixture was stirred for two hours. The
contents.were cannulated to-the dilithium salt in the
first flask and the mixture stirred for two hours at
C. CuC]. (2g, cuprous chloride) was added and the
mixture was stirred for two hours at 25 C. The solids
were separated from the reaction mixture by filtration,

(500 mL) and the solutions filtered through a small bed
of celiteTM. The volume of the filtrate was reduced to
50-75 mL. 1'he crystals separated by filtration were
25 washed with 20 mL of dichloromethane, and dried in
